Nelson Pear Wall Sconce

Light and luminous

The Nelson Pear Wall Sconce features a 5-cm-thick, solid walnut wall-mount, a steel arm that extends out and a 366-cm plug-in cord. A swivel hinge in the arm allows for easy height adjustments. The Nelson Bubble Lamps were originally designed in 1952, when George Nelson was inspired by a set of Swedish hanging lamps that were tediously crafted with a silk covering. The bigger challenge, however, was their expensive price. Nelson decided to make his own set, and arrived at an innovative process that replaced the silk shade with a translucent plastic material.
